Eight pending California clean air rules were expected to prevent 11,000 premature deaths and provide $116 billion in health benefits over three decades.
Former President Trump's return to the White House now jeopardizes a slate of California clean air rules that were intended to advance the state's climate goals and bring it closer to complying with federal air quality standards. In the last four years, California has adopted some of the nation's most innovative air regulations, including a ban on new gasoline-powered car sales by 2035 and a prohibition against diesel-fueled trucks visiting state ports and railyards in 2036.
It is expected to prevent 1,287 premature deaths and provide $13 billion in public health benefits.The Advanced Clean Fleets rule, adopted in 2023, would ban fossil-fuel-powered cargo trucks from registering to serve California ports and rail yards. It would ultimately require all cargo trucks serving the ports to be zero-emission in 2035. It also established zero-emission requirements for governmental and large commercial fleets. It was scheduled to go into effect this year.
